It's crazy the way I can understand almost everything in this video with just two days of studying. Knowing two languages (Portuguese and English) helps me on it as well, there are many cognates
Mi estas en la sama situacio. Mi ankaŭ parolas la portugala kaj la anglan. Mi pensas ke esti parto de tiuj ĉi du familioj lingvaj igas pli facile rekoni multajn novajn vortojn kiujn mi trovas Eu estou na mesma situação. Também falo português e inglês. Acho que fazer parte dessas duas famílias linguísticas torna mais fácil reconhecer muitas palavras novas das quais eu encontro
This made me teary-eyed! I just started learning esperanto today because of Fi3M's advice, and I figured I'd get int the two weeks recommended before going after French, my first target. But I genuinely despite the fact that I am a monoglot, I can only speak English, despite being very devoted to learning French in high school (though without peers I lost motivation to continue after graduation) To see another monoglot being able to speak so much esperanto in just four weeks like this made my heart soar. I am so inspired, thank you so much for sharing this conversation!
3:45 "Esperanto estas bona por lerni aliajn lingvojn" Mi ne nur samopinias kun tio, sed ankau mi ekinteresighis pri aliaj lingvoj post lerni Esperanton. 3:45 "Esperanto is good for learning other languages" I not only agree with this, but it also waked up my interest in other langauges after learning Esperanto.
I love these videos. As someone who's been putzing around with learning Eo for some time now, it's quite inspiring and is motivating me to try to learn it faster. You're a fantastic example of how easy it can be to learn. Keep up the good work. I wish there were more videos of Benny speaking it fluently too.
Whats funny is that i just started learning Esperanto yesterday and I could still follow most of the conversation. (Probably because of the many cognates that are in esperanto.)
The accusative in Esperanto does tend to trip English speakers up, because English doesn't really have an accusative case. I'm constantly forgetting to use it.
In Malaysia, we speak a type of Esperanto. We call it Manglish…it’s a mixture between Malay, Indian, Chinese, Portuguese, and English. Most people around the world would roughly understand most of what we are speaking though…does it count?
Doing better than me Lauren! Proves the point that the more you practice the better you get. FYI I started at the same time as you and this is my 4 week video: Greeny McGreen's Esperanto Challenge: Week 4
Congratulations, it's incredible all the things you can say in esperanto now! Keep studying! ^^ I'm really curious to know what's the language you want to learn so badly! =P
Wow her accent is that good, before she said she was American i thought she must have been Spanish or European! :O I guess the way to gain a fluent 'accent' is to shadow lots of material, Benny?
Bonege! Mi sekvis la konversacion inter vi. Ne sentu malbone, la akuzativo ŝajnas esti la unua plendo el ĉiam. :-D Mi deziras bonŝancon al vi kaj atendos ĝis la venonta filmeto.
bonege! Mi lernis Esperanton per lernu en la lasta somero. Nun mi memoras cxiu per la viaj videoj =) Mi esperas, ke mi povos paroli kun vi kaj en Esperanto en Berlino :) Sukceson!
tre bone !! mi studas esperanton en Duolingo. Sekve, kiam mi estos pli bone , mi deziras paroli la anglan. Ankaux mi partoprenas alian kurson, PMA (programo mia amiko) en Brazilo. Brakumoj !!
It seems like nobody likes the accusative, but when you have been studying russian, you LOVE the accusative. Accusative means I can do whatever I want to the word order :D
The things I found most difficult was getting the difference between things that sound similar, ig-igx, the correlatives. The accusative inflection was hard until I realized I'd been using it with English pronouns my entire life. Very good. I think almost all of the students I've taken natural language courses with never achieved this level of imperfect fluency even after they'd successfully completed the two years they were often required to take. While I don't get the chance to speak very often, I read quite a bit in E-o and write in it from time to time. The few times I've had occasion to speak - always by chance, nothing planned, it's amazing how much more secure it feels than French and German which I have had more conversations in, even Spanish, traditionally considered "easier" than French or German leaves me feeling like I'm entirely incompetent in a way Esperanto hasn't.
Bonega laboro, Lauren! Mi ankaux lernas Esperanton, sed miaj studoj malrapidis dum cxi-tiu semajno. :( Tamen, vi inspiras min legi la librojn ecx pli diligente ol antauxe!
Mi tre ŝatis aŭdi tiun babiladon! Ĉar je la 4ª semajno ŝi jam bone uzas la lingvon kaj bone sukcesas kompreni demandojn kaj respondi ĝin :) Gratulon al vi ambaŭ!
Mi komencis lerni Esperanton kvin tagoj antauxe (mi ne scias kial, sed mi volas dauxrigi) kaj gxi estas tre interesa lingvo. Gxi estas facile (tiun volis Zamenhof, certe) kaj mi sxategas gxin!
@Fluent in 3 months : Ne sentas malbona Lauren, mi ankaw studis Esperanton sed mi kredas ke vi povas kaj vi estas lernanta kaj vi havas tre bona instruisto kun vi! Chu ne scias ke Baltimoro estis vort-formitoj de Irlando? Baile Ti Mor (Town of the Big House) ... bona sxanco! Gxis! (I don't speak Esperanto perfectly so Benny will tell you all about any mistakes I've made ... Sla/n (cheers)

can you update? lol did it work out? I'm just curious as I'm learning french
i love this language. been learning for less than a week and i understood about 85-90% of that without captions.
It's amazing to see how much she's progressed in such a short amount of time! I can't wait to see her start learning other languages as well (:

I can completely understand her feeling about akuzativo but as Russian native speaker I do like it.
Lauren you are progressing so much. Well done!
The accusative in Esperanto does tend to trip English speakers up, because English doesn't really have an accusative case. I'm constantly forgetting to use it.
Well done Lauren, very brave of you to do this! Respect for putting yourself out there ;-)
It's crazy, I've been studying for 5 minutes and I can understand everything perfectly! Just turn the captions on and you can too 😂
Please do more conversational videos. It's a great way to strengthen listening skills for language as well as to increase vocabulary.
THIS IS FU..ING AMAZING!!
In Malaysia, we speak a type of Esperanto. We call it Manglish…it’s a mixture between Malay, Indian, Chinese, Portuguese, and English. Most people around the world would roughly understand most of what we are speaking though…does it count?
Yes kind of…I think you described a creole type language.
Tre bona laboro! I'm sorry Lauren but I don't speak Eperanto!!! I'm just trying by reading the msn from here! Lol!
Wow! Lauren you're awesome! Congratulations my dear!!!!

Wow, you speak very well for just 4 weeks of learning!
This is pretty impressive, are you sure it's only kvar semanojn?? Mi opinias, ke sxi jam havas ne malbonan esperantan akcxenton.
Wow! If this is one month's progress in Esperanto, think how well she'll speak it if she studied for a year....
Gratulegon! Mi spektis ĉiun filmeton kaj estas mirinde vidi vian rimarkeblan progresadon.
I had no internal knowledge of the language but I understand 60% I would say. Don’t know how but I do.
I do not know Esperanto, but I guess that he was asking her at the beginning of the video about her learning progress.
lovely video! happy to say I understood most of it even without the captions :)
Well done!
bonege! Mi lernis Esperanton per lernu en la lasta somero. Nun mi memoras cxiu per la viaj videoj =) Mi esperas, ke mi povos paroli kun vi kaj en Esperanto en Berlino :) Sukceson!
mi venos al Berlino por la konferenco kaj por la prezentacio de la libro de Benio =) mi senods mesagxon tiam =))
Dankon por la filmo! Gi helpas min plibonigi mian aŭskultan komprenon! :) Ĉu Lauren ankoraŭ parolas Esperanton?
Tre bona laboro! Gratulojn al la lernantino kaj al la gvidanto ;)
tre bone !! mi studas esperanton en Duolingo. Sekve, kiam mi estos pli bone , mi deziras paroli la anglan. Ankaux mi partoprenas alian kurson, PMA (programo mia amiko) en Brazilo. Brakumoj !!

Estas admirinde kiel Lauren jam ekparolas Esperanton post nur kvarsemajna lernado. Gratulon kaj koran saluton el Francio al vi ambaŭ .
Gratulon! Are you guys still together? You seem like an amazing couple :)
No, we broke up.
Mi sxatas tion. Ili parolas mian rapidecon. Mi komprenis ĉion, ke mi estas komencanto. Dankon!
Bonega laboro, Lauren! Mi ankaux lernas Esperanton, sed miaj studoj malrapidis dum cxi-tiu semajno. :( Tamen, vi inspiras min legi la librojn ecx pli diligente ol antauxe!
When I have moved out I will totally do this
Mi opinias same kiel Lauren: esperanto estas tre facila lingvo. Yo opino como Lauren: el Esperanto es una lengua muy fácil.
really nice initiative
I'm italian and I can speak a decent english, I almost understand everything in this video. This language is so scary ahahah!
2020 who else ?
Mi vidas ke ŝi tre bone jam parole esperante, mi deziras al vi du, multe da sukcesojn kaj libera tiempo :)
Mi tre ŝatis aŭdi tiun babiladon! Ĉar je la 4ª semajno ŝi jam bone uzas la lingvon kaj bone sukcesas kompreni demandojn kaj respondi ĝin :) Gratulon al vi ambaŭ!
Hello. Thanks
Thank you too
Me who started yesterday👁👄👁
We wish you tons of success with your learning!
It’s weird because it’s oddly similar to Spanish and I wouldn’t be surprised if Portuguese people could understand it to
Lauren lernas Esperanton rapide!
ĉiam antaŭen iru !
Mi prenis du jarojn por fariĝi tiel bona. Mi ĝojas ĉar vi parolas la sama kiel mi. Vi inspiras min. Bonŝancon!
tiu estis tre bone Lauren =) konservi praktikado
Bonege Lauren!
Mi komencis lerni Esperanton kvin tagoj antauxe (mi ne scias kial, sed mi volas dauxrigi) kaj gxi estas tre interesa lingvo. Gxi estas facile (tiun volis Zamenhof, certe) kaj mi sxategas gxin!
Damn that chick is pretty cute. Good job Benny.
!!!
la angla tre similas al esperanto pli ol 70% de radikoj ekzistas jam en la angla

Via Esperanto estas tre bona!
malgranda piro

Easy until you get into French style agreement with subject and (!) object. Then brain explodes.
